Mayanti Langer, the popular Indian broadcaster and journalist for Star Sports has often found herself amidst controversies with her out-and-about comments. The Delhi-born has found herself yet again in an awkward situation as fans started shipping her with former Australian cricketer Justin Langer as her family member.

As netizens stand divided on whether Mayanti is the sister of Justin Langer with a massive buzz online about the possibility, it turns out they’re not related to each other. 

Are Mayanti And Justin Members Of The Same Family?

The duo has been spotted together on the field while hosting the Boxing Day Test between India and Australia, and since they share the same last name, fans have been speculating about a possible family connection. Unfortunately for those hoping for some cricketing dynasty drama, the truth is that Mayanti and Justin come from totally different families and aren’t related at all.

Born to parents Sanjiv Langer and Preminda Langer, Mayanti, known for her personality and wit, met her husband, cricketer Stuart Binny, during an interview. After a period of secret relationship, they married in 2012. Stuart's cricketing fortunes improved significantly after their marriage, with him attributing his success to his wife's good luck. The couple welcomed their son in September 2020, leading Mayanti to take a temporary break from her professional commitments to focus on motherhood.
